Keep in mind that unless your shopping for a 450x/550x truck (don't hear of many of those being modified) your likely going to modify the suspension, tires/rims of your truck (or both) for truck camper hauling duty.
As an example in a recent survey of NL owners found that ~70% of the SRW owners did modifications to their truck while nearly ~40% of the DRW owners did the same thing.
Recently I asked in THIS forum if anyone was using a 3/4T or 1T truck with camper WITHOUT modifications to the truck. There were no responses. (seemingly everybody here has done modifications)
So to conclude, almost no matter what truck you end up with, your more than likely going to make modifications to ether the suspension, tire/wheels or both for hauling a camper. You might as well get used to the idea.
